^I understand why he does so – he said it himself that he wishes he could hit himself when he
was doing the same back then. So in a way, he’s treating her the same way he believes he should have been treated, IMO.

He probably sees what he does as a kindness. So she wont have to feel the way he did when he found out what the only person who talked to him really thought about him. I'm kinda getting the feeling that the girl was being tsundere and it'll come out later but that may not happen as well.

By former, you mean Kumin-senpai is a former Chuu-2 as well? I somehow think that Kumin’-senpai's past Chuunibyou status has neither been denied nor confirmed, although she is definitely a quirky enough type of gal to fit in.

I'm referring to Nibutani as the former (IF)

Kumin is the middle.

It's VERY tiring to be around people who are on a different frequency than you; I never met a Chunni-byou, but I would imagine it's something like playing with a very imaginative child and that I have plenty of experience with.

Some people can get along with children while others can't- I mean, I can take care of them, but I'm not going to entertain them- And I certainly wouldn't hesitate to chop them in the head when they're being idiots... Nothing that would leave a mark of course

Great episode, but there are two things I really don't want to happen.

1. Yuuta joining the club because of Shinka, rather than joining it due to Rikka asking him to.

2. Shinka having feelings for Yuuta (I would hate if this happens, since it would likely interfere with the development of the main relationship).

I also want the story to begin focusing more on Yuuta and Rikka's relationship, since it's quite clear that's the direction it will eventually take, and I don't want those developments to feel rushed.

1. I'm afraid it will be like that. Because it seems Yuuta doesn't have any feeling for Rikka now why he have to join the club with a girl who made him feel flustered. But Shinka is very attractive girl for him. He will join the club immediately when he know Shinka want to join it too.

2. I'm sure Shinka doesn't have any feeling for Yuuta. I bet it will turn out that she secretly has Chuunibyou syndrome too.

What if, say, Nibutani was really a former Chuunibyou and she is interested in Dark Flame Master side of Yuuta? Just like Evil Eye Truth side of Rikka whom also took interest in him?

The question that arise is: do chunibyou-afflicted people tend to be drawn to each other? The Sanae-Rikka partnership suggests this might be the case.

On the other hand, in Lite episode 2, one might say Rikka sought out her normal middle-school classmate Tomo-chan to relate stories of her battles with the Dark Denizens. Would Rikka have preferred to tell such stories to Sanae instead? Does Rikka simply want to tell stories, want people to believe those stories, or play along with her?

So far, the anime hasn't really provided much information. It just rolls right along with the premise of "chunibyou-afflicted people have delusions" and we have a bunch of chunibyou-connected students partying together. It introduces chunibyou, but doesn't explore how chunibyou comes about, or what feeds their delusions, etc.

I don't think that necessarily needs an explanation. There's a part of every person that loves escapism, and sometimes crazy people express it with their imaginations in different ways. Some turn to cosplay, some treat their daily life like it's their favorite TV show, and others concoct elaborate stories right out of a visual novel. They're crazy, sure, but I think they know exactly what they're doing. And they are loving it.

1. I'm afraid it will be like that. Because it seems Yuuta doesn't have any feeling for Rikka now why he have to join the club with a girl who made him feel flustered. But Shinka is very attractive girl for him. He will join the club immediately when he know Shinka want to join it too.

There's another way to look at it; if Shinka joins, at least he'll now have one more normal person to talk to so he wouldn't pop a blood vein. Bonus points if she's a former like him.

And they are an interesting bunch. KyoAni always seems to pull in lesser-known seiyuus who do a good job. Such as Uesaka Sumire, who plays Sanae; she was Sora in Listen to Me, Girls, and studies Russian in the foreign languages dept. at Sophia University.

Teacher Nana-chan is played by the eternally seventeen Inoue Kikuko (Belldandy in Ah Megami-sama). And Fukuhara Kaori (Tsukasa in Lucky Star), returns for anther KyoAni role as Kuzuha.

I should have remembered that Rikka's seiyuu Uchida Maaya played Rea in Sankarea. She has something going for her.

I count Kikkio Inouie as a bit 'chunni' IRL myself. As for Shinka she seems to be a bit of, and mind my pap-Freudian here, to be the 'super-ego' of the three main girls so far. She's 'the goal' if you will, readjusted (apparently) to a new life, even a step further on from Yuuta in having had the 'garage sale' of her 'chunni' life already. btw CodeGEASS runs deep in this show, going by some of the credits.
